Operating Method for Electronic Apparatus for Offering Information Related to Order and Electronic Apparatus Supporting Thereof

Abstract

Disclosed are a method and electronic apparatus for providing information related to an order. The method includes acquiring quantity information of an order item in a fulfillment center and information on a period related to order quantity calculation for the order item, confirming a reference date for the order quantity calculation and a reference period starting from the reference date based on the information on the period, determining estimated consumption information of the order item by the reference date and estimated demand information of the order item for the reference period, and providing information on an order quantity of the order item calculated based on the quantity information, the estimated consumption information, and the estimated demand information.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of providing information related to an order by an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
 acquiring quantity information of an order item in a fulfillment center and information on a period related to order quantity calculation for the order item;   confirming a reference date for the order quantity calculation and a reference period starting from the reference date based on the information on the period;   determining estimated consumption information of the order item by the reference date and estimated demand information of the order item for the reference period; and   providing information on an order quantity of the order item calculated based on the quantity information, the estimated consumption information, and the estimated demand information.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the quantity information includes information on a current amount of inventory of the order item in the fulfillment center and information on a scheduled warehousing quantity by the reference date according to existing orders for the order item. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the estimated consumption information includes information on sales volume estimated to be sold by the reference date among a current amount of inventory of the order item in the fulfillment center and information on an amount of disposal estimated to occur by the reference date among the current amount of inventory. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the estimated sales volume is determined based on an existing sales history of the order item. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the estimated amount of disposal includes a quantity of the order item whose deadline for sale or expiration date passes by the reference date. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the estimated demand information includes information on an amount of consumer demand for the order item estimated for the reference period and information on an amount of demand for safety stock of the order item for the reference period. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the estimated amount of consumer demand is determined based on a price of the order item. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the estimated amount of consumer demand is determined based on an existing history of demand for the order item. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the estimated amount of consumer demand is determined based on sales characteristic of the order item. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the sales characteristic includes a characteristic that the order item is sold during a specific period. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the sales characteristic includes a characteristic in which a discount is applied to a price of the order item. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the amount of demand for safety stock is determined based on an existing history of demand for the order item. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the amount of demand for safety stock is a preset value. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein when an estimated amount of inventory, which is determined based on the quantity information and the estimated consumption information, on the reference date is larger than the estimated amount of consumer demand and a difference between the estimated amount of inventory and the estimated amount of consumer demand is smaller than or equal to a threshold value, the information on the amount of demand for safety stock is included in the estimated demand information. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the order item corresponds to a specific storage type. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the order quantity of the order item is calculated based on:
 a first value obtained by adding an estimated amount of consumer demand for the order item for the reference period and an amount of demand for safety stock for the reference period which are included in the estimated demand information;   a second value obtained by adding a current amount of inventory of the order item and a scheduled warehousing quantity by the reference date which are included in the quantity information; and   a third value which is a larger value between sales volume of the order item estimated to be sold by the reference date and an amount of disposal of the order item estimated to occur by the reference date which are included in the estimated consumption information.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the order quantity of the order item is calculated to be a larger one of 0 and a value obtained by subtracting a fifth value, which is a larger one of 0 and a fourth value obtained by subtracting the third value from the second value, from the first value. 
     
     
         18 . An electronic apparatus for providing information related to an order, the electronic apparatus comprising:
 a processor; and   one or more memories configured to store one or more instructions,   wherein when the one or more instructions are executed, the one or more instructions control the processor to perform operations of:   acquiring quantity information of an order item in a fulfillment center and information on a period related to order quantity calculation for the order item;   confirming a reference date for the order quantity calculation and a reference period starting from the reference date based on the information on the period;   determining estimated consumption information of the order item by the reference date and estimated demand information of the order item for the reference period; and   providing information on an order quantity of the order item calculated based on the quantity information, the estimated consumption information, and the estimated demand information.
